In addition to experience and qualifications, other factors for consideration follow

Likelihood of child earning a spot in the majors

Is the child a 12-year-old?

Complaints or concerns raised about the coach’s abilities or behavior

No coaches with children aged 11 or under will be pre-assigned to a Major League team unless their child is considered certain to be drafted into the Majors. Due to the limited number of spots available in the Majors for 11s and under, the WLL Board has determined that only those players who played on the previous year’s 10A summer team are certain to be drafted into the Majors as 11-year olds. This does not preclude someone with an 11-year old player from being an assistant coach in the Majors if his child is ultimately drafted to play in the Majors – just not pre-assigned.

Discussion with WLL President regarding proposed list

Coordinator develops final list of recommended head coaches

Coordinator presents recommendations to WLL board for approval

Selections are not finalized until successful CORI check completed

Assistant Coach Selection Process

League coordinator drives the process

Receive list of candidates from registration

Any head coach candidate NOT selected as a head coach will be added to the list of prospective assistant coaches (unless the reason for not being selected would also preclude their selection as an assistant coach)

Assistant coaching candidates will be removed from consideration if there is question over the likelihood of their child being drafted into the M

If removed for this reason only, it does not preclude the candidate from helping coach should their child ultimately be drafted

HAs a starting point, it will be assumed that the previous season's 10A team members only are likely to be drafted into the Majors. Therefore, assistant coaches from this pool will remain on the list
